Overview of this book

Ansible is an open source automation platform that assists organizations with tasks such as application deployment, orchestration, and task automation. With the release of Ansible 2.7, even complex tasks can be handled much more easily than before. Learning Ansible 2.7 will help you take your first steps toward understanding the fundamentals and practical aspects of Ansible by introducing you to topics such as playbooks, modules, and the installation of Linux, Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD), and Windows support. In addition to this, you will focus on various testing strategies, deployment, and orchestration to build on your knowledge. The book will then help you get accustomed to features including cleaner architecture, task blocks, and playbook parsing, which can help you to streamline automation processes. Next, you will learn how to integrate Ansible with cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) before gaining insights into the enterprise versions of Ansible, Ansible Tower and Ansible Galaxy. This will help you to use Ansible to interact with different operating systems and improve your working efficiency. By the end of this book, you will be equipped with the Ansible skills you need to automate complex tasks for your organization.

Summary

With this, we come to the end of this rather small but important chapter, which focused on how you can extend Ansible by writing your own custom modules. You learned how to use Python, bash, and Ruby in order to write your modules. We've also learned how to write integration tests for modules so that they can be integrated into your CI system. In the future, hopefully, extending your Ansible functionality by using modules will be much easier!

In the next chapter, we will step into the world of provisioning, deployment, and orchestration, and look at how Ansible solves our infrastructure problems when we provision new instances or want to deploy software updates to various instances in our environments. We promise that this journey will be fun!
